Who has to file GSTR 9?

Every registered taxpayer under GST must file a GSTR-9. Exceptions include temporary taxable persons, non-resident taxable persons, Input Service Distributors, and those who must deduct or collect TDS/TCS. It is required for businesses with total yearly sales over Rs. 2 crore.

Is it mandatory to file GSTR 9?

Yes, it is mandatory to file GSTR-9 if your total yearly sales are over Rs. 2 crore. For businesses with sales up to Rs. 2 crore, filing is optional, offering flexibility.

What if GSTR 9 is wrongly filed?

Once GSTR-9 is filed, it generally cannot be revised. However, errors or omissions from the past year can usually be corrected in the current year’s monthly or quarterly returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) up to the GSTR-9 due date for the current year or the filing of the past year’s annual return, whichever is earlier.

Is the HSN Summary important in GSTR-9?

Yes, providing the HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) summary for both sales and purchases is important in GSTR-9. This detail helps sort goods and services for better tracking and review by tax authorities, adding to clarity.

How many subcategories are there under GSTR 9?

GSTR-9 has six main parts. These are further divided into many tables and sub-sections, needing detailed information about various GST dealings. These divisions ensure full reporting.

Is there any late fee if there is a delay in filing GSTR9?

Yes, there is a penalty for late filing of GSTR 9. A late fee of Rs. 200 per day (Rs. 100 each for CGST and SGST) is charged, with a limit of 0.25% of the taxpayer's sales in the state or union territory. This fee serves as a strong deterrent to late filing.

Can I file GSTR 9 after the due date?

Yes, you can file GSTR-9 after the due date, but you will incur a late fee for each day of delay, up to the maximum limit. Filing before the GSTR 9 filing due date is highly advised to avoid these penalties and maintain good compliance.

What is the difference between GSTR9 and 9C?

GSTR-9 is the annual return that summarises all GST returns filed during the financial year. GSTR-9C is a matching statement that compares the GSTR-9 data with the taxpayer's audited annual financial statements. GSTR-9C is needed for businesses with total yearly sales over Rs. 5 crore (before, Rs. 2 crore) and needs to be self-certified. GSTR-9 must be filed before or at the same time as GSTR-9C.

How to check the GSTR 9 filing status?

What are the GSTR 9 filing exemptions?

The exemptions from GSTR-9 filing include temporary taxable persons, non-resident taxable persons, Input Service Distributors, and those who deduct or collect TDS/TCS. Also, for sales up to Rs. 2 crore, it is not required, making things easier for smaller businesses.

Is there any option to file a Nil GSTR 9?

Yes, if there are no transactions during the financial year and no tax owed, you can file a NIL GSTR-9. The late fee for NIL GSTR-9 filing is reduced to Rs. 100 per day (Rs. 50 for CGST and Rs. 50 for SGST), making it a simpler process for businesses with no activity.
